WTF HRC?

From the press release announcing the appointment of Drew Heckman as HRC's first-ever Nebraska field organizer:

LGBT people also actively participate in their faith communities and
are raising families. HRC’s survey reveals 66 percent of those surveyed
ages 18-25 intend to have children one day and 31 percent are people of
faith. In addition, according to a 2010 Census study by the Williams Institute, Nebraska has one of the highest rates of same-sex couples raising children of any state in the country.“Faith and strong families are essential values in the lives of LGBT
people,” said HRC Faith and Religion associate director Joseph Ward.
“This survey clearly shows LGBT Nebraskans and their families actively
participate in their churches.”

What HRC's survey clearly shows is that 69% of gay people in Nebraska are NOT very — or at all — religious. And don't get AKSARBENT started on HRC's buy-in of the "people of faith" rubric. Atheists and Agnostics are also people of faith — in science not mythology.

Maynard (Bob "Gilligan's Island" Denver) slyly flashes a nipple to the CBS eye while trying to talk his best buddy Dobie Gillis (Dwayne Hick­man) into taking off all his clothes. Whoever said 1950s television was a vast waste­land obviously didn't know where to look.
